Bartleby Digital Study Bundle to be Offered to
Students with Purchase of VitalSource eBook
Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE:BNED), a leading
solutions provider for the education industry, today announced it
has expanded its existing strategic partnership with VitalSource®
to provide students with increased access to additional learning
opportunities through a unique bundle of its bartleby® homework
help services, bartleby learn™ and bartleby write™. The VitalSource
direct-to-student channel with the purchase of a VitalSource eBook
valued at more than $20 will now offer students unique access to
the bartleby study bundle™, an $80 value, for only $19.99.
Student demand for supplemental online learning support has
never been greater. Following the abrupt switch to online learning
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many students felt they did not
have the help they needed to be successful in their studies. As
higher education continues to navigate the challenges presented by
the ongoing pandemic, many students are preparing for a virtual or
hybrid learning model in the fall term, as well as the possibility
that on-campus resources such as tutoring services, writing centers
and even traditional office hours may remain unavailable.
Bartleby’s online and on-demand services fulfill a need for digital
tools and resources to provide supplemental learning support.
The bartleby digital study bundle gives students the help they
need, when they need it, supporting their academic journey whether
they are learning on-campus or at home in the upcoming academic
year. The bundle includes four months access to the bartleby suite
of homework solutions for $19.99 with the purchase of a qualifying
VitalSource eBook. Through bartleby students can access homework
help including step-by-step textbook solutions and expert Q&A,
as well as writing services and resources including preventative
plagiarism scans, spelling and grammar checks, citation assistance
and AI-powered predictive scoring.
“We are pleased to expand our longstanding relationship with
VitalSource, growing the distribution of bartleby’s suite of
digital services beyond BNED’s current footprint. The bartleby
study bundle is designed to increase the distribution of our
leading solutions ecosystem and demonstrates our shared commitment
to student affordability, accessibility and achievement. Together,
we will offer needed student support services and help millions of
learners earn better outcomes, combining bartleby’s highly relevant
ecosystem of all-digital solutions with VitalSource’s distribution
network and industry leading eBook platform,” said Kanuj Malhotra,
BNED President of Digital Student Solutions. “Bartleby continues to
see large gains in traffic, engagement and subscriber acquisition
as we continue to take market share from our competition in this
space and prove the value we can provide students, particularly in
the midst of this pandemic. We will continue to explore unique ways
to expand distribution for our bartleby suite of solutions,
ensuring students can find the support they need – whenever and
wherever they need it.”
